Is there now a dump Obama movement within the Democratic Party?

Seems so:

Leading liberals are already thinking the unthinkable: Challenging President Obama for the Democratic nomination in 2012.

According to a report on the left-leaning Huffington Post website, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann and Eugene Robinson, an African-American national columnist for The Washington Post, discussed just such a possibility Thursday night. Robinson said Obama needs to be careful how he handles the health care reform issue and the continuing wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Olbermann said the president has “compromised on everything so far and as self-defeating as it may be, the progressive caucus and progressives would abandon him if necessary, if this was to be the policy of this administration into 2012. If it’s necessary to find somebody to run against him, I think they’d do it, no matter how destructive that may seem.”

Remember folks... he's a uniter, not a divider.

Doberman and the rest of the rabid looney left? Are just pissed that Obama hasn't surrendered in Iraq and Afghanistan and sent his brown shirts into the schools to conscript the children into the atheist socialist army against God.

Oberman and Madcow need to meet some otf the heartland personally and get their attitudes adjusted if you ask me.

I will personally volunteer to perform said attitude adjustments! With a pair of vise grips and a blow torch, as my old friend Marcellus Wallace would say!

Wait a second....
If the "Independents" are abandoning the Good Ship Hope and Change, and now the "Progressives" are going to sashay down the gang plank...who still supports him?

I'd love to see Obama dumped, but I fear that his party wants someone even more effective at advancing the anti-American agenda.

Obama is a tool, though, and will be kept in place while whoever is behind him manipulates and sneaks and murders and whatever else they do while we're distracted.

Obama will soon be set adrift by disillusioned mutineers in his own party. Having enraged the right and the independents, the prez will be floating among the media sharks...

Obama has sold out the left, the middle class,he has no idea of what it is to be Commander in Chief. He thinks leading is a bunch of ridiculous compromises that he can use semantics to argue over.He is going the way of one term Jimmy Carter.I for 1 Democrat do not want to watch the fall of Obama as he takes the Democratic Party with him to then be faced with 4 years of the just outrageous, jive, malarky, Puritanical, Right Wing Nut Republican who confuses money and greed for right.
The mechanism to get rid of a sitting President, and off the ticket is a daunting challenge. That's why if you believe as I do Democrats better start organizing now because not only do we need to replace Obama we need to get rid of the ring wing obstructionists who block and try to destroy anything the left does as if they are the ones that are only right.

Obama and Biden have been disasters for LGBT people.

Dump Obama Now!

They also did nothing for two weeks while Obama was having his beer conference (remember that!) while the Republicans regrouped to crush health care reform.

Dump Obama Now!

Dump Obama!
He used us to get elected. he intentionally said liberal things to get elected then betrayed every one of them. He has not kept any campaign promises. He is the best Right-wing President ever. The country has shifted radically to the right in response to his weakness and lack of principals in the face of intractable republican obstructionism.Corporations have never profited more and the wars continue merrily on while our family members serve tour after tour of duty. The wars are draining our resourses so we can't care for our own country and yet no one is actively involved in an anti-war movwement. Obama ruined Jon Stewarts rally by being such an asshole to him on his show. No wonder we just rallied for sanity not for Obama. He is too smart to learn, anyone else would have figured it out by now, he is Charlie Brown and the Republicans are Lucy. They will never let him kick the ball. DUH!!!! What a fucking moron!I will gladly work twice as hard as I did last time to get a decent candidate.I don't know exactly how to go about organizing a primary challenge but I will support others who do. Organize Now
Dump Obama.

I do think you've misread the situation Rebecca. He's just not really into anything other than himself... and he will use any one, and any side of an issue for his own ego.

It's not fun knowing that you've been used is it?
